Adventure to the North Cape

Adventure to the North Cape

The North Cape Plateau - Follow in the footsteps of explorers, kings and queens. See the plateau at the end of the world, with its barren cliffs, and the mystical treeless and rugged landscape.

Situated at a latitude above 71'N, the cliff with the iconic globe is a breath-taking site, where you can enjoy the peace of the arctic north, the far-reaching sceneries, and the magic of the island Magerøya. Located on the edge of the three hundred meter tall cliffs is the North Cape Hall. It provides shelter from the elements, and is also offering a visitor's center with a panoramic cinema. Included in the tour is a visit to a scenic fishing village located on the east side of the island.

The tour starts in the harbour of Honningsvåg, it follows the fjords and crosses the plateau of the island before climbing up on the peninsula of North Cape itself. The plateau of the island is home to thousands of reindeer and birds, and a photo stop is made at the viewpoint overlooking Tufjord and the peninsula of North Cape. On the return from the cape we stop in the beautiful fishing village of Kamøyvær. Here you can discover for yourself how life is at the end of the world, visit the gallery of Eva Schmutterer (www.evart.no) or walk around the picturesque harbour.
